I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago and it is a neat little tool for getting at hard to reach bulbs.

But then, you guys probably already know all about them. ;)

Yup, these have been around. But they're not good for pulling bulbs from under a plastic without removing the plastic first. A handy (almost free!) tool is simply the rubber plunger tip. Put it over a bulb and it gives you a great grip for removal, from any angle.
 
I've used a short (1" to 3") piece of 1/4" ID rubber fuel-line for years. Works great everytime. Go by an auto parts store. They will give you a little chunk for free. --Rich
 
Why does Mad Amusements ebay everything. They were the first to get shuttle ramp/toys....ebay'd.
 
One of the best tools for to insert or remove bayonet bulbs is a felt tip pen cap. You warm up the open end with a lighter and force the bulb in. When it cools the cap will reach thru the playfield or other tight spots. Push the cap over the bulb twist and it's out!

I never thought about this. Ive run across a lot of bulbs I could put in with my fingers, just couldnt get enough grip to press and turn easily. That plunger tip should make that a lot easier
